Anna Torv and Philippa Northeast are the stars of the thrilling Aussie Western series, Territory. Unfortunately, after only one season, Netflix has decided to axe the show. The plot takes place on the largest cattle ranch in the Australian outback and follows the struggles of one family after the unexpected death of their heir. It has been described as a combination of Yellowstone and Succession, as the Lawson family fights to protect their land from rival ranchers, gangsters, and mining tycoons who all want a piece of their property.
The talented cast includes Mindhunter's Anna Torv as Emily Lawson, along with Michael Dorman, Sam Corlett, and Robert Taylor. When it was released in October 2024, Territory quickly gained popularity among both viewers and critics, becoming one of the Top 10 most streamed shows in 74 countries. Many fans were eagerly anticipating a second season, but were left disappointed when Netflix announced the cancellation after only six episodes.
The show follows the rugged rancher Graham Lawson, played by Michael Dorman, and his family as they struggle to keep their business alive. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment and outrage at the sudden cancellation. Some called out Netflix for canceling the show on a cliffhanger, while others questioned the streaming site's decision to cancel a show with positive reviews and high ratings.
Territory received an 86% "fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising the strong performances and stunning scenery. However, viewers had a more mixed reaction, with a 53% Popcornmeter rating among those who watched it. While some praised the show for its intense and gripping plot, others criticized it for being overly dramatic and trying too hard to replicate popular American TV Westerns.
Directed by Greg McLean, the show was filmed on location in rural Australia, adding an authentic and immersive feel to the production. The cast and crew got to experience the beauty and dangers of the outback firsthand, with actor Sam Delich revealing that they even swam in watering holes where there might have been crocodiles. Territory is currently streaming on Netflix, but unfortunately, it will not be returning for a second season.
